Chaplains have a twofold direction.  They go directly to the emergency scene to interact with the first responders, affected families and bystanders.  Calls come anytime day or night, anywhere within the county.  Chaplains also work with the First Responders when they are not on emergency calls, supporting the responders who see so much tragedy in their careers.

Chaplains provide comfort, and understanding in very difficult situations.  Chaplains come from the clergy, from the ranks of the First Responders, the mental health profession and the community at large.  No one set of training or experience makes a chaplain.  If a person is selected to become a chaplain, an intense “Chaplain’s Academy” provides the skills to work in and around these very intense situations.
